Meet Your Body with Jessica Valant, MSPTShow Notes
Do you say “yes” when you mean “no”? Do you end up in lopsided relationships, feeling resentful but not sure how to speak up? Do you feel anxious, struggle with perfectionism and imposter syndrome, or feel like you’ve lost touch with your true self? You’re not alone! While these are common traits of women in our society, they will hold you back from stepping into your full confidence, health and worth.

Regulate their nervous systems
Reframe their habitual thoughts and actions
Take back their time and energy
Improve relationships with parents, friends, and partners
Discover their inherent self-worth and lovability
Get ready for an open and important conversation meant to help you own your emotions, decisions and place in the world.

It seems like everywhere we turn, there's another wellness trend promising to help us look younger, feel better, live longer or optimize our health. Full-body scans, peptides, weighted vests, skin treatments, supplements, hormone therapy—the list is endless!
Walking is one of the most accessible and beneficial forms of movement we have. But with all the current emphasis on strength training, lifting heavy and changing how we exercise as we age, many women are starting to wonder: Is walking actually enough?
“Toned” is one of the most common words in fitness. We are told we should want toned arms, toned legs and a toned stomach. We believe certain workouts will give us “long, lean muscles,” while heavier weights might make us “bulky.”
Women over 40 are hearing the message loud and clear: You need to strength train. You need to lift heavy. You need to build muscle.
How can we help kids grow up feeling safe, confident and connected to their bodies in a world that constantly tells them that looks and size determine their value?
